Trouble
Jessica Lea Mayfield Lyrics

Tears fell in Boerne
The tears flowed from your eyes when we were in Boerne.

And stuck to your breath
You were trying to hold back you tears and it made it difficult for you to breathe.

Blew up to the sky
The tears rose and vanished in the air.

And landed on a cloud
The tears attached themselves to a cloud in the sky.

Your heartache made the cloud sad
Your sadness affected the cloud in some way and made it sad as well.

And it started crying
The cloud started to rain.

The cloud's teardrops froze
The raindrops turned into snowflakes because the temperature was very cold.

'Cause my heart is so cold
The cold snow represents the artist's cold and uncaring nature.

Now the clouds are crying snow
The tears turned into snow and are falling onto the ground.
